HAUNTED HOUSE, aMESBURY

On 3rd February 2017, four members of the Twilight
Shadows Paranormal team were invited to investigate a private house
in Amesbury, Wiltshire. Louise and her daughter had lived in the
house for two years and had been haunted by a spirit within the
house, so much so, that they had spent most of their time upstairs as
they felt safer. Louise was very happy as she was moving from the
house. She was coming into the house one last time with us, to see if
the spirit would make himself known to paranormal investigators.

Andrew and I picked up Louise on route and as we sat in the car
park waiting for Jacky and Dave to arrive, I could see that Louise
was very nervous. As we talked, we all felt an eerie feeling envelop
us within the car. Jacky and Dave arrived and we all entered the
house together.

There was no electricity within the house so we had to make our
first inspection with our torches. As we stepped through the front
door, the atmosphere was oppressive and we all felt a strong
presence. We looked around the sitting room, then the kitchen before
we ventured upstairs.

The Ovilus said, 'Show, Please and Presence.' We heard a sound
like a growl and the sound of a door closing upstairs. While we were
upstairs in Bedroom 2, the floor was vibrating. We have experienced
this before in other haunted locations. It was amazing. After a
while, the energy appeared to diminish slightly and so Jacky and I
'called out' to try to maintain the contact. Dave switched the Spirit
Box on and we heard, 'Uh oh!' This made us laugh. We all felt that
the spirit was listening and we asked for his name.

SITTING ROOM

We settled in this room and I felt that the spirit may have gone
upstairs so I asked if this was right. The Spirit Box emitted a 'Mmm
Hmm' sound. At this point we received an EVP which was like a deep
breath out and a groan. As we felt that the spirit was upstairs, we
asked for him to knock on the ceiling. Louise said, “Or knock on
the door like you usually do.” Louise told us that the spirit
knocked loudly on the door every evening at approximately 20.00
hours. It was always two loud knocks.

Jacky talked to the spirit and I could feel the energy getting
more powerful. The energy became stronger and weaker in cycles but was
always stronger when we said that we were unafraid of the
spirit. An EVP was obtained which was an indescribable, but quite
horrible sound. Dave kept asking for a name and the Spirit Box said
'Bill.' We asked, “Did you say Bill?” The Spirit Box replied,
'Yes.' We asked, “Why are you here?” The Spirit Box said,
'Naughty.' We asked if the spirit had ever lived in the house or was
he brought in by someone but we did not receive a response. Dave
asked if the spirit's name was really Bill and the Spirit Box said,
'Yes.'

For a while nothing happened. Dave was walking around and suddenly
he exclaimed, “Ooh, it's almost like I've stepped into something,
here in this corner.” I could feel something around us, like it was
walking around. Dave and Andrew went into the kitchen and shut the
door. Jacky was filming and she said that she was surprised that she
had not picked up any light anomalies on camera. We both felt like
there was only one spirit in this house. We could hear Dave asking
him his name again as he didn't believe that his name was Bill.

A male voice on the Spirit Box said 'My house' quite loudly. Jacky
and I told him that it wasn't his house anymore. I saw a dark shape
gliding up the stairs and Louise said that this is what she saw every
night. The boys came in from the kitchen and Jacky asked them to go
upstairs because of the dark shape that I had seen going up there. As
they were climbing the stairs the Spirit Box suddenly malfunctioned
briefly and then started working again. As they got to the top of the
stairs, it malfunctioned again. It just went completely dead both
times. It started working again by itself. The Spirit Box has never
done this before. Andrew shouted from upstairs, “He's up here!”
The Spirit Box went off again and eventually restarted itself.

I asked for the spirit to knock the door and as I did, I noticed a
dark shape moving at the bottom of the stairs. The temperature
plummeted. I could still see the shape there, just floating at the
bottom and then it started to ascend the stairs. Andrew shouted from
upstairs, “The floor is shaking up here.” Dave then shouted that
the Spirit Box had said, 'Get out!'

Louise told us how the door downstairs sounded like it was kicked
with force. She also told us that she could hear him walking around
upstairs, banging on the ceiling and on the wall next to her bed. We
were discussing the floor vibrating and Louise said that she had felt
this the day before, when she was packing her things.

It was quiet for a time and then Louise saw something by the front
door. It was a misty, smoky shape heading for the stairs. Jacky said
that she had seen it by the door too and she described it as a black
mass. The boys came downstairs and Dave told us that the Spirit Box
had said the name 'John' twice. Louise told us that her neighbour is
called John. Andrew felt a cold breeze brush by him and Dave said
that he could hear movement. The room went very cold for a time and
then all was quiet for ages. Suddenly, we all noticed that the
temperature got even colder and we could feel the energy building up
again although nothing significant happened. I suggested that Louise,
Jacky and I went upstairs, leaving Dave and Andrew downstairs.

BEDROOM 2

We 'called out' and Louise asked the spirit to walk across the
floor, making the creaking sound that he usually made which really
frightened her. We heard a bang and I could see light anomalies with
my own eyes. The boys shouted up to us, that something had been
thrown down the stairs and hit Dave on the face. A little while
passed and something else was thrown down the stairs. I got up from
the floor and walked out onto the landing and something touched the
top of my head. I asked for something else to be thrown down the
stairs while I was standing there but instead I heard a blowing
noise. Although I only heard it once, our recording picked it up
several times. I went back into the room and
whistled and asked the spirit to whistle back and it did. I whistled
again and although I did not hear a response this time, our recording
equipment captured a responding whistle, followed by another blowing
noise. Louise said that she was experiencing a feeling of dread as
she could feel the energy building up again. She asked if the spirit
could make the noise on the ceiling but there were two bangs on the
floor instead.

BEDROOM 1

I found a small green ball and rolled it out of the room, asking
the spirit to roll it back to me. We heard something being rolled
back towards us but it wasn't the green ball. Everything was quiet
for a while and Jacky said, “We thought you were going to be so
impressive” and something was thrown in the room at us. We then
heard something being rolled down the stairs slowly towards the boys
at the bottom. It was a large, white marble. We chatted for a while
in this room and then we heard something else being thrown down the
stairs. The bedroom door was open all of the time so we could see the
top of the stairs but we could not see anything throwing these small
objects. Another two things were thrown down. We then heard 4 bangs
and the energy felt like it was swirling around us.

It was getting very late and we said that we would have to leave.
The energy increased and it felt like an electrical charge. Something
touched my hair. As we left this bedroom, I heard a noise in the room
behind me as I reached the door. We went downstairs and packed up our
equipment with Dave and Andrew. We stayed downstairs for a little
while to see if anything else happened but the energy seemed to drop
and nothing else occurred.

We would like to thank Louise for giving us this fantastic
opportunity to investigate her very haunted house. We loved this
experience.

After reviewing photographs of the investigation, we have captured a black shape at the top of the room. It has obviously moved over several shots.
